Red, oozing belly button in a toddler

Doctor
:
Red, oozing pus discharge from the belly button indicates infection. It needs to be treated with antibiotics and regular care and hygeine is important to prevent the spread of infection. In my opinion you should consult your baby’s pediatrician for adequate treatment.
